Pikmin (game): Difference between revisions

In addition to the regular story mode, there is an alternate game mode where players are challenged to grow the most Pikmin they can in a single day, with slightly different rules from the norm. The best results are kept in record.

{{main|Pikmin family}}

Pikmin are the plant/animal hybrids that are discovered by Captain Olimar when he crash-landed on the planet. The Pikmin willingly follow his orders and imitate his movements, despite whatever fate may await them. Each species of Pikmin has weaknesses and strengths and all Pikmin must be used in cooperation in order to collect all of the missing ship parts. These are the types of Pikmin encountered in this game.

The game is split into five different [[area]]s. After 1, 5, 12 and 29 ship parts are recovered, the [[S.S. Dolphin]] receives an upgrade, which allows it to fly to a different area.

*[[The Final Trial]] – a large challenge-like level where the player's skills and knowledge are put to the test.

{{see|Ship part}}

Ship parts are what the player needs to collect in order to advance with the game. There are thirty in total, and they can upgrade the [[S.S. Dolphin]] once certain amounts of parts are recovered. Each ship part is unique, and five of them are not mandatory for Olimar to succeed in his escape.

There are a number of creatures in the planet that are enemies to the Pikmin. They are mostly predators, although almost all of them can be killed by large armies of Pikmin.

A few decorative plants and fungi exist in each area. Most of them are plants in the real world.
